1. Who we are

This website, bethebestenterprise.com, is run by Be the Best Enterprise, the business of speaker and trainer Beverly Banks ("we," "us" or "our"). This policy covers information collected through this website, including our forms, the free Toxic Workplace Check, call booking and paid workshop registration. It doesn't cover other websites we link to, such as Instagram, LinkedIn or Facebook.

2. What we collect

Information you give us

• Sign-up and interest forms: first and last name, email address, phone number (optional), and anything you tell us about your goals.
• Contact and booking requests: the type of request, organization, event date, format, audience size, location, budget and your message.
• The free Toxic Workplace Check: your answers, your scores, and the name and email you give us to see your results. Your answers describe your workplace experiences, so we treat them as confidential.
• Booking a call: when you schedule through the calendar on our site, the scheduling service collects your name, email, the time you pick and any notes you add.
• Paid workshops: your name, email, phone number (if you give it), the workshop you chose and the payment result. Your card or bank details are entered directly into Stripe's secure checkout. We never see or store your full card number.
• Emails and messages you send us, including replies to our emails.

Please don't include health, medical or other highly sensitive details in a form or message. If you need to talk about something personal, Beverly will gladly set up a call.

Information collected automatically

• Server logs: like most websites, our web host records basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you request and the time. This is used for security and to keep the site running.
• Security checks: our host may place a small cookie in your browser to confirm you're a person and not a spam bot.
• Embedded services: some pages load content from other companies, such as photos from Unsplash, the Cal.com scheduler and Stripe checkout. Those companies receive your IP address and browser information when that content loads, and Stripe and Cal.com may set their own cookies to make their tools work and prevent fraud.

We don't use Google Analytics, advertising pixels or any other tool that tracks you across websites.

3. How we use your information

• To reply to your messages and booking requests, and to plan speaking engagements, trainings and workshops with you.
• To show and email you your Toxic Workplace Check results.
• To process workshop payments, send your confirmation and Zoom link, send reminders before the session, and handle refunds or questions about a purchase.
• To send the updates, invitations and resources you signed up for. You can unsubscribe at any time.
• To understand what our community needs, so Beverly can create better workshops and resources.
• To keep the site secure, block spam and prevent fraud.
• To keep business, tax and accounting records and comply with the law.

If you're in a region that requires a legal basis for processing, we rely on your consent (for example, when you join our email list), on what's needed to deliver something you asked for (such as a workshop seat), on our legitimate interest in running and protecting our business, and on our legal obligations.

4. Who we share it with

We don't sell your personal information, and we don't share it for targeted advertising. We share it only with the service providers that help us run this website and our programs, and only what they need:

We may also share information if the law requires it, to protect the rights, safety or property of our business, our clients or others, or as part of a sale or transfer of our business, in which case this policy would continue to apply to your information.

5. Cookies and similar tools

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Our site itself only uses what's needed to work: the security cookie our host uses to block bots, and the cookies Stripe and Cal.com use when you open checkout or the scheduler. We don't use advertising or analytics cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but checkout, the scheduler or our forms may not work properly if you do.

Because we don't track visitors across websites, there's nothing for a browser "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control signal to switch off on our site.

6. Emails and texts

If you join our list, register for a workshop or request your results, we'll email you about that and about related resources and events. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can also ask us to remove you by email. Even after you unsubscribe, we may still send messages you need, like a receipt or the Zoom link for a workshop you paid for.

If you give us your phone number, we may use it to reach you about your request. We won't send you marketing text messages unless you separately agree to receive them.

7. How long we keep it

We keep your contact information for as long as you're part of our community or until you ask us to delete it. We keep payment and purchase records for as long as tax and accounting laws require, which is usually up to seven years. Form backups and server logs are kept only as long as they're useful for running and securing the site.

8. Your choices and rights

You can ask us at any time to:

• tell you what personal information we have about you and give you a copy;
• correct information that's wrong or out of date;
• delete your information, unless we need to keep it for a legal reason such as tax records;
• stop sending you marketing emails.

Depending on where you live, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and other U.S. states, the UK or the European Union, you may have additional rights under local law, such as the right to opt out of the sale of personal information (we don't sell it) or to complain to a data protection authority. We'll honor those rights as the law requires and won't treat you differently for using them.

To make a request, email babanks1@gmail.com with the subject "Privacy request." We may need to confirm your identity before acting on it, and we'll respond within the time the law allows, usually within 30 to 45 days. You can also have an authorized agent make a request for you.

9. How we protect it

Our site uses an encrypted connection (HTTPS). Payments are handled by Stripe, which is certified to the highest level of the payment card industry's security standards. Only Beverly and the people and services who help run the business can access your information, and only for the reasons in this policy. No website or system is perfectly secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect what you share with us.

10. Children

This website and our programs are meant for adults. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, please contact us and we'll delete it.

11. Visitors outside the U.S.

We're based in the United States, and our service providers may store and process information in the United States and other countries. If you use this site from outside the U.S., you understand your information will be transferred to and handled in the U.S., where privacy laws may differ from those where you live.

12. Changes to this policy and how to reach us

We may update this policy as our website and programs change. When we do, we'll change the effective date at the top of this page, and if the changes are significant, we'll let our email subscribers know.
